Research

I do research in algorithms, algebraic combinatorics, and machine
learning. Current areas of focus are new training algorithms and provable
guarantees for neural networks, and the structure and symmetries of highly
regular combinatorial objects.

Background

Previously, I was a postdoc in the Algorithms and Randomness Center at
Georgia Tech where I worked on provable guarantees for training neural
networks and algorithmic problems in matching theory with Santosh Vempala
and Eric Vigoda.

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago under the supervision
of László Babai. My thesis focused on faster algorithms for bottleneck cases
of the graph isomorphism problem.
